- On the Vassiliev invariants for knots and for pure braids,
(official abstract) Edinburgh University PhD Thesis,
July 1997. This contains material from the above papers together with
ideas on the relationship between Vassiliev invariants for pure braids
and de Rham homotopy theory.
- Vassiliev invariants for knots,

Mathematical Tripos, May 1993. A survey of Bar-Natan's paper On the
Vassiliev knot invariants, which contained some additional work
of my own.
